What are the ways to prevent prostate cancer?

Although prostate cancer is more common nowadays, it is not difficult to prevent it. As long as the patient pays attention to physical examinations and maintains good living habits in daily life, prostate cancer can be prevented. The following are some ways to prevent prostate cancer:

Four good habits to stay away from prostate cancer

1. Moderate sex life

Excessive sexual intercourse or masturbation can damage the prostate. For example, newly married men are prone to prostatitis, which is often related to excessive sexual intercourse leading to excessive congestion of the prostate. On the contrary, long-term abstinence, which results in no outlet for sexual impulses, is also bad for the prostate. Therefore, men should learn to have regular sex and discharge prostatic fluid regularly.

2. Stay away from alcohol

Alcohol has a strong stimulating effect on the prostate, causing the blood vessels in the prostate to dilate, causing congestion and edema. Long-term drinking can reduce the resistance of the prostate, facilitate the growth and reproduction of prostate-resident bacteria, and induce acute and chronic prostatitis. Long-term chronic inflammatory stimulation will increase the risk of cancer.

3. Moderate exercise

The physiological position of the prostate determines that men "sit" on the prostate to a large extent, so sitting for a long time can cause big problems. Men who work in offices, use computers, and drive cars should strengthen physical exercise, and also pay attention to getting up and moving around during long periods of sitting to relieve pressure on the prostate.

4. Drink plenty of water and urinate frequently

Water is the source of life. Due to the busy work, sometimes it is common to not drink a sip of water for half a day. Little do people know that not drinking water will inevitably make the urine concentrated and the number of urinations will decrease. In addition, some people have the habit of holding urine, which will further increase the concentration of urine and even cause urine reflux, which is very bad for the prostate. Therefore, you should drink more water and urinate frequently, which is good for the health of the prostate.

One thing that needs to be understood is that there are also relatively obvious high-incidence groups for prostate cancer. The most common one is people with a family history of prostate cancer. In addition, although prostate cancer is very common in today's life, if we pay attention to prevention, the incidence rate can be greatly reduced.
